Abstract
Paper industry today is globally subjected to various environmental laws
and regulations.The environ-mentally related issues for the industry include
variation in regional regulations, emerging environmental standards and
international environmental treaties.How the paper industry responds to these
issues will shape the operating strategies for pulp and paper mills this
century.The principle of sustainable development is leading paper industry
towards more efficient use of energy and raw materials, as well as towards
tighter mill closure.Conservation of water and energy are therefore important
issues in the development of new environmentally friendly papermaking
concepts.The paper discusses a case where waste-heat driven multiple-effect
evaporation combined with a cooling tower is used to reduce the use of fresh
water in a paper mill.
